Easy Indian-Style Okra

Great recipe. I never liked Okra in any form, cook any way. The spices add enough flavoring to make it very tasty. I served it over wild rice. My husband still does not like Okra but you can’t please them all the time!

While not necessarily what I expected it to be, this was a great recipe! Cumin added a lot.

Extremely easy to follow, and calories information is on point! I count calories so most recipes I prepare are noted. I’m not a huge fan of okra but I will say this really was tasty and I enjoyed it as a main instead of side.

Had to modify this recipe for my Indian husband. Double all the spices and add 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or to taste. Use ghee if you have it, or if not butter is acceptable. After making these changes he loved it. Before doubling salt and turmeric though, give it a taste and then decide if you want to add more of those two spaces in the end (just use what this recipe calls for and then add more if you want more)

Loved it. Okra has a bad rap, my mother made fried okra with a cornmeal and black skillet, always liked it. Now though this is my favorite way to have it. Spices really adds to it.

Made exactly as stated but used fresh ginger and I really liked it.

I have been looking for a mild but easy Indian okra recipe and this was perfect! Thanks!

Excellent flavor. This is my new favorite Okra recipe. I didn’t have coriander so I used cilantro.

We did not like it at all. No flavor.

Good. Hubby loved it! Soaked okra in red wine vinegar for 30 min and rinsed to to remove sliminess.

This is a great way to cook fresh okra that is not fried. The taste was wonderful. We will be making this again.

Grew up in fried okra in the south. A friend of mine working in New Delhi gave me this today. I cooked it and hands down the best I’ve ever had. Sorry mom

I haven’t made this yet but I have a question for a party I am hosting on Sat. What is the sauce that is poured over the Okra? It looks very nice and I would like to present it the same way. I have never even tasted Okra before but this recipe looks like a great side for our Indian pot luck dinner. Thanks for any help.

I made this as-is, though I may have shorted the cooking time somewhat. I ended up doubling the spices after I tasted it. It was tasty and I will use this as the basis for variations on the dish in the future. Thank you for sharing.

Did not like this at all.

I love this stuff!!! But then I love okra and do not mind the slimy nature of this vegetable. That’s just the way it is. This recipe is great. I made it exactly as written. The second time I made it I did add a couple of chopped Roma tomatoes just because I had them on hand and it was very good that way too.

While there was nothing wrong with this, it just wasn’t spectacular or extraordinary, not something that made me think ‘YUM, I need to make this again!’. I had some okra to use and was looking for something different. This was just OK and made it exactly as written. (Not sure what that white topping is in the picture–maybe that would’ve made it better).

Delicious! I love this recipe and have made it numerous times. My husband however prefers only fried okra. More for me! 🙂

I added the tomatoes and that definitely made it a heartier, tastier dish. The hubby and I love spiciness, so I threw in one diced up serrano and it was perfect. This is a great vegetarian dish or side.

I made for Thanksgiving… Delicious with turkey. I added garlic.. Yum. Trying it now with mushrooms and peppers.

i made it 1or 2 times, but everytime it was kinda slimy. So did a QUICK TRICK?? microwave the cut okra in a microwave safe dish for 5-6mins( depending on quantity) or u can bake, if u dnt like microwaved food much,)),, and then put in the pan ( with already sauted onions nd spice for few mins) and simmer for another couple of mins Under brown, and it turns out amazing though it may need some practise like every other recepie. really great with rice, naan or indian roti etc. another trick?? wash it a night before and let it dry overnight
